    I need input (HELP) !

    My publisher has suggested that I include an appendix in Life is a Road, Get on it and Ride. Yesterday it completed the first stage in production and at the same time earned iUniverse’s "Editor's Choice" award.

    They suggest that the appendix include information on books and other references for existing riders, as well as books and references for new or aspiring riders. Apparently the folks on their review committee that had to read the book as part of the production process all want to go ride now . . .

    Anyway, I have some ideas, but I need input from you folks. Do you have books, stable websites, organizations, or other materials that you would HIGHLY recommend to new or existing riders?

    I only have a couple days to get this together so make it fast . . . it would also help me (particularly for a reference I have not seen) to have a brief overview of what it is about/did for you . . . and to know why you would recommend it.

    There is no better collective resource than these boards and the terrific people on them . . . so how about some input?

      as for boards.... the only other one I check on regular basis is in slovene, so useless for your target consumers.... at least most of them...

                      How about this for the confirmed long distance folks:

                      www.ironbutt.com

                      It is a site for everyone into seeing how strong their XS really is.
